Círio de Nazaré: the faith and art of a people. Belém do Pará, Brazil, 2007. Photo: @alefilizzola People from traditional communities along the Amazon River, also called "ribeirinhos" use the boat as the main way of transportation. The festivities of the the Círio de Nazaré gather around 4 million people over all the events, processions and celebrations. Most of these people are from the local and traditional communities around Belem or from the Northern area of Brazil in general. Due to the limited road infrastructure, the rivers are the highway of the Amazon and the most common way of transportation is the boat. The Círio de Nazaré is the biggest Christian party in the world gathering more than 1.5 million people just for the main procession and around 4 million people considering the whole event. It happens every year in the city of Belém do Pará, located near to the mouth of the Amazon River, located in the Brazilian Amazon. However it is still yet to be discovered by the rest of the world and even by the  most of the Brazilians.

The Círio de Nazaré is biggest Christian popular party and the third biggest religious party in the whole world. It takes place every year in the Brazilian Amazon and it is an impressive expression of the faith, art and culture of the northern Brazilian people. Even though, unbelievably, it is still to be known abroad and even by the most of the Brazilians. Discover more about it attending to my photo exhibition at the Embassy of Brazil in London, during the beginning of November; and reading my article about photo documentary in the new edition of the Adriana Chiari Magazine, being issued in London on the 12th of October 2019.
